Comments:

​

Eli Crawford was the maternal grandfather of Caroline Armington.

Eli Crawford (1820–1912) was a prominent early settler and farmer in Chinguacousy Township, Peel County, Ontario.

​

Eli's daughter, Mary Crawford (1847–1932), married William Wilkinson.

​

Their daughter, born in Brampton, Peel County was Caroline Helena Wilkinson.

​

BUT, SURPRISINGLY Eli Crawford  was not alive in 1926, as he passed away in 1912.
